My great grandmother (Margaret Elizabeth Bowes) was married to John Works. My grandfather (John & Margaret's son) was Cecil Works who died in 1991. His last name was changed to Wark - don't know why that was.

Richard Wark

Thank you for sharing your site! I was checking out a blood line of my new grandson whose great great grandfather was Albert N.L.Voden and your information has saved me a lot of effort!

I wonder if your research shows adult male MacDonalds living in the proximity of a Murray family on PEI, circa 1862. I believe my paternal grandfather's name was the result of a non paternal event. Y-DNA testing strongly suggests a link to the MacDonalds of Skye. Are you aware of any DNA testing within your family?

Deborah Smart Hooper daughter of Ephriam Hooper and Isabella Giddings was my 3rd g grandmother she married George Henry Alexander. Ephriam Hooper was the son of John Hooper Sr b 26 Mar 1782 Middlesex, England and Deborah Curtis b 1782 Alton Hampshire England.

Your site has been very useful in my search of our ancestry. I would like to know if anyone knows what brought my great-grandparents, Rev. William Woodman and Mary (Tucker) Woodman from PEI to Ontario.

Stumbled on your great website! So much great info on my father's family! I never knew much of the history and where his father was from. Thank you so much!

I come from the Brooks family in Prince Edward Island, Canada - but none of the names I have match on your list. I have Ramsey, Hibbett, Lord to name a few of the names. Maybe it is me, but I couldn't find any of those names here. I always heard from my Grandfather Herbert William Brooks from Summerside who was born in PEI in 1880 ---that their were 3 brothers - one named John that came to PEI - and I descended from one of them. Are we related?

Hello Anne,

It was lovely to find your website. My ancestors were the Inkpens, Farleys and Lows.

My great grandmother was Elizabeth Ann Inkpen daughter of Joseph Henry Inkpen and Elizabeth Farley. She married Henry Low and had my grandmother Margaret Rebecca Lowe.

I have traced family back to Ticehurst and Maidstone. It was lovely to see the photo of Fountain House in Goudhurst, Kent.

If anyone has any photos of Inkpens or Farleys, it would be fantastic to see them. I have a photo of Elizabeth Inkpen taken late 1890's to early 1900's.

Regards,
Kim

Came across your website with the Spencer/Hammick names. You might be interested that some of the children came to Queensland. Namely - Isabella born in Devon 1874? and died in 1924 in Brisbane.
Also her sister Rosena came here and died in 1969
